Everything Money Can Buy

Synopsis of 'Everything Money Can Buy'

(Subtitled The Addiction Concerto)

The story of "Everything Money Can Buy" follows the rise and fall of corporate raiders and high-level crime hiding in plain sight and protected by people in power. Parker Blyth has written this six-part series of novellas in the 'Crime Thriller Genre'. Similar in composition to Child, Grisham, or Baldacci but with an Australian slant on the narrative.

Gerry Finney is an investigative journalist living and working in Sydney Australia. With assistance from some friends, other journalists and an old jailed secret service agent named Bill Honeychurch, he uncovers a major story of Ponzi schemes and money laundering by the financial leviathan, Helleron Corporation.

Helleron's Australian CEO, Jon Mountbanke, and his affluent directors, are living the dream of wealth, power, and privilege as they stay one step ahead of the financial regulators in Australia, America and the European Union. Meanwhile Gerry Finney is dealing with his own addictions of gambling and drinking and the chaotic life of a compulsive workaholic which have torn his and his family's life apart. Yet the deeper he digs the darker things get, and the more obsessed he becomes at exposing the corporate frauds who look so legitimate while all the time cloaked in the shadows of opulent board rooms, mansions, and luxury hotels as his life continues to fall apart though bad choices, bad associates and bad luck.

From Sydney to Washington, Mumbai to Macau and Bern to Canberra, the white-collar criminals run their empire of fraud and white-collar criminality at the highest levels, until they find themselves desperately running from prosecution and public disclosure as time itself runs out. As Gerry Finney's quest nears the end, his luck turns for the better, and the executives fall one by one. An exhausted but grateful and recovering Gerry Finney receives critical help from unexpected quarters.
